"Failure to cut fossil fuel use could result in "potentially catastrophic events" that "might not be reversible." - Exxon Environmental Affairs Office, 1982

"In every American community, you have varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects - ten degrees to the left of center in good times, ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally... so here then, is a lesson in safe logic: I cried when they shot Medgar Evers, tears ran down my spine, and I cried when they shot Mr Kennedy, as though I'd lost a father of mine... but Malcolm X got what was coming, he got what he asked for this time, so love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal... Get it? I go to civil rights rallies, and I put down the old DAR... I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy, I hope every coloured boy becomes a star, but don't talk about revolution; that's going a little bit too far, so love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal... I cheered when Humphrey was chosen, my faith in the system restored, and I'm glad that the commies were thrown out from the AFL CIO board, and I love Puerto Ricans and Negroes, as long as they don't move next door... so love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal. Ah, the people of old Mississippi should all hang their heads in shame, what's the matter, don't they watch Les Crane? But if you ask me to bus my children, I hope the cops take down your name, so love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal... yes, I read New Republic and Nation, I've learned to take every view, y'know I've memorized Lerner and Golden, I feel like I'm almost a Jew, but when it comes to times like Korea, there's no one more red, white and blue, so love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal... I vote for the Democratic party, they want the UN to be strong, I attend all the Pete Seeger concerts, he sure gets me singing those songs, and I'll send all the money you ask for, but don't ask me to come on along, so love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal... Sure, once I was young and impulsive, I wore every conceivable pin, even went to socialist meetings, learned all the old union hymns, ah but I've grown older and wiser, and that's why I'm turning you in... so love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal..."
- Phil Ochs, 'Love Me, I'm a Liberal'

"You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it." - Benjamin Mee, We Bought a Zoo

"Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it." ~Fyodor Dostoevsky

''Among human beings a cat is merely a cat among cats. A cat is a prowling shadow in a jungle.'' Czech writer Karel Capek

Always bring a banana to a party.

"True compassion is cultivating so much love in yourself that it becomes a burden to bear. Giving to others is actually a relief, almost like a tree carrying heavy fruits in its branches that is relieved when others pick from its abundance." - [mateo sol]

"The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations."

“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.” — Joseph Heller, Catch-22

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
